With Missouri's imminent departure to the Southeastern Conference, the crazed atmosphere inside Phog Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday marks the last installment of the historic rivalry between Missouri and Kansas for the foreseeable future. The game leaves little possibility of redemption for the Tigers unless they meet the Jayhawks again in the Big 12 or NCAA tournaments in March.

Women's basketball team wins second conference game

After struggling to an 0-13 start in Big 12 Conference play, the women's basketball team is gaining some momentum before heading to the conference tournament in early March.

Missouri coach Robin Pingeton still expects more improvement from all of her players, none more so than junior Sydney Crafton, who will be the most experienced Tiger next season when Christine Flores, BreAnna Brock and Bailey Gee graduate.

Junior college transfer Liene Priede drained a last-second 3-point shot to tie the game at 53 and send the Tigers into overtime for the second consecutive game. Missouri won 61-56 for its first win at Mizzou Arena since Dec. 30 when it played Sam Houston State.
